Book excerpt: Popular music in the twenty-first century is increasingly divided into niche markets. How do fans, musicians, and music industry executives define their markets’ boundaries? What happens when musicians cross those boundaries? What can Christian music teach us about commercial popular music? In God Rock, Inc., Andrew Mall considers the aesthetic, commercial, ethical, and social boundaries of Christian popular music, from the late 1960s, when it emerged, through the 2010s. Drawing on ethnographic research, historical archives, interviews with music industry executives, and critical analyses of recordings, concerts, and music festival performances, Mall explores the tensions that have shaped this evolving market and frames broader questions about commerce, ethics, resistance, and crossover in music that defines itself as outside the mainstream.

Download or read book Me Inc written by Mr. Gene Simmons and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Me, Inc. features a black simulated-leather cover with gold foil stamping and a black ribbon bookmark. The fact that KISS is one of the most successful rock bands in the world is no accident. From the beginning Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had a clear-cut vision of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to operate KISS as a business well before they ever first took the stage. Since deciding with Paul to manage the band themselves, Simmons has proved himself to be a formidable businessman, having sold over 100 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, overseen over 3,000 licensed merchandise items, and starred in the longest running celebrity reality show to date. More impressive is that he handles all of his business ventures on his own—no personal assistant, few handlers, and as little red tape as possible. In Me, Inc., Simmons shares a lifetime of field-tested and hard-won business advice that will provide readers with the tools needed to build a solid business strategy, harness the countless tools available in the digital age, network like hell, and be the architect for the business entity that is you. Inspired by The Art of War, the book dispenses Simmons’ in-depth insights via thirteen specific principles for success based on his own experience, triumphs, and instructional failures in business—from finding the confidence within yourself that’s necessary to get started, to surrounding yourself with the right people to partner with and learn from, to knowing when to pull the plug and when to double-down. These thirteen principles are a skeleton key into a world of success, freedom, peace of mind and, most importantly, financial success.
Download or read book Under God s Rock written by Tim Urban and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under God's Rock is set in 11th-century Normandy. Crippled in his youth, a blasphemous monk named Wido, unearths a relic the Bible says does not exist - and the Catholic Church never wants to be found. By a twist of fate he crosses paths with the Viking, Styrkar, and both will come to have their lives changed by the boulder known as God's Rock. 11th-century Normandy. A recklessly rebellious peasant boy living on the edge of a towering sea cliff, Wido is a sinner by choice, and his arrogance is punished with a vengeance when the massive boulder he's standing on - known as God's Rock - breaks loose during a sudden storm and crashes into the sea below. Rescued from the rubble by the Viking Styrkar - the sole survivor of the same rock-fall that crushed his ship and crew - a crippled Wido hovers near death for weeks as his widowed young mother, Adelvia, in gratitude, shelters the wounded Norseman from a notorious relic-hunter desperate to possess an unfathomable treasure aboard his missing ship. Only, as the God-fearing Adelvia's increasingly immoral attraction to Styrkar leads to a betrayal of her sacred marriage vows to her long-dead husband, savaged by guilt, she forces him from her shack and, unwittingly, into the jaws of the hunter's dogs. Suffering under the warlord's whip, Styrkar vows to die before he will give up his hard-won prize: gold, silver, and jewels looted from lands the world over. And unbeknownst to either man - softly glowing in a simple stone box - the holiest relic in all of Christendom. Now buried. In a ship. Under God's Rock. Nine months after Styrkar's violent capture, Adelvia's sinful act turns to something worse when a hate-filled and jealous Wido kills their bastard child at birth. Fearing the Devil is in his soul, a helpless Adelvia then delivers her blackhearted seven-year-old son into the hands of the Catholic Church and a life of serving the god he blames for ruining his life. Suffering the hypocrisy of a money-grubbing, nihilistic Church raised over the mysteriously missing bones of the greatest charlatan of them all, the monastery is Purgatory. God, Jesus. His mother. Wido hates them all. And his only reason to live is to even the score. So it is, after thirty-three years of challenging God to unmask this Holy Ghost named Jesus and prove His miraculous healing power by restoring life to his useless legs - amidst another murderous storm - a Hell-bound Wido comes face-to-face with a relic the Bible says does not exist. And can, should he reveal its dark hiding place, reduce the Christian Empire to dust. In a stunning twist of his horrible life, God's fate is in Wido's hands.

Download or read book Music for Others written by Nathan Myrick and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2021 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Musical activity is one of the most ubiquitous and highly valued forms of social interaction in North America-from sporting events to political rallies, concerts to churches. Its use as an affective agent for political and religious programs suggests that it has ethical significance, but it is one of the most undertheorized aspects of both theological ethics and music scholarship. Music for Others: Care, Justice, and Relational Ethics in Christian Music fills part of this scholarly gap by focusing on the religious aspects of musical activity, particularly on the practices of Christian communities. It is based on ethnomusicological fieldwork at three Protestant churches and interviews with a group of seminary students, combined with theories of discourse, formation, response, and care ethics oriented toward restorative justice. The book argues that relationships are ontological for both human beings and musical activity. It further argues that musical meaning and emotion converge in human bodies such that music participates in personal and communal identity construction in affective ways-yet these constructions are not always just. Thus, Music for Others argues that music is ethical when it preserves people in and restores people to just relationships with each other, and thereby with God"--
